'Ultimate Spider-Man, Vol. 1: Power and Responsibility' does a great job of drawing out the original 11-page storyline into a full graphic novel. The key to refreshing the story for the modern era is Begley’s artwork, which pops off the page.

Popular as the mashup ethos is, I wasn't entirely surprised by the concept behind designer Butcher Billy's new set of superhero-cum-rock star poster prints, but I have to say these are among the best mash-up art that I've seen as of late.

Within superhero mythology there exists room for women to exhibit just as much power as men and be celebrated as well. Whether it’s Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Raven from Teen Titans, female superheroes are able to hold their own against powerful male (and female) super villains that threaten the world they vow to protect.
